Only if you want to create an IANA registry of labels with two
ASCII-letter-range octets followed by two hyphen-minus characters.
One of the IDNA documents reserves everything of that form, alas.

This registry business might be a good tidying effort anyway, though,
so I'm not opposed.  Just noting that it's work that would be needed.

Best regards,
